Chapter 1227: Mixed Blessings
Everyone felt no discomfort when they ate, and they put their minds at ease, about half a pillar of incense, Shen Yanqiu took the lead in putting down the chopsticks, followed by Huang Fu, Zhang Ben, Xu Lang, Yang Zheng and Gao Hang were the last to put down the chopsticks and drank a few sips of tea and soup.
Gao Hang said: "Little Brother Yang is not early, why don't you rest here for one night and rush to Jiaozhou early tomorrow morning?" Although he said this to everyone, Twilight looked at Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng took a sip of tea soup, squinted his eyes and glanced out the window, although it was night, but the lanterns in the courtyard reflected as bright as day, looking out of the window, you could almost see a flower and a grass in the distance, a mountain and a water, in the haze, there was a different scene.
Yang Zheng looked at it for a moment, then retracted his gaze and said: "You also saw Zhang Dao just now, such a person only knows how to bully the people, and it is very good to fight a war without being a lackey, for Jiaozhou, this official is really a little worried?"
Gao Hang and Yang Zheng were the longest, and as soon as they heard what he said, they knew that their plan to rest here tonight was in vain, so they said: "Junior Brother Yang said very much, such a soldier really can't fight?"
Yang Zheng said: "So this official wants to feel Jiaozhou as much as possible, so let's see how vulnerable the 20,000 soldiers in Wang Tong's hands are!"
Huang Fudao: "It's okay, go early, train early, he goes to the battlefield one day, and he has an extra chance of winning!"
Among the people, Huang Fu is the oldest, everyone has said so, what else can they say.
Yang Zheng is a resolute person, saying that he would leave tonight, but he didn't stay for a moment, he personally settled the account, then turned over and rode away.
The crowd mounted their horses and followed.
Running wild all night, early the next morning, I finally rushed to the interface of Jiaozhou, inquired about Wang Tong's mansion, and everyone rode away.
Legend has it that the land of Jiaozhou comes from Yu Shun, the ancient king, who once went to the south to inspect and died in Cangwu. After Qin Shi Huang sent troops to occupy the Lingnan region, he placed three counties: Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the commander of Nanhai County, established the Nanyue State. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to exterminate the Nanyue Kingdom, he divided his land into seven counties, and set up a Jiaozhou to supervise the counties (the prototype of Jiaozhou), and Jiaozhou has been the land of China until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the Great Rebellion in the Central Plains, Jiaozhou became a relatively peaceful and stable region under Shixie's rule, including present-day Guangdong, Guangxi, and northern Vietnam. Many people from the Central Plains moved into the area, such as Xu Jing, Yuan Pei, Deng Xiaoxiao, Xu Yuanxian, Zhang Ziyun, Xu Ci, Liu Ba, Liu Xi, Cheng Bing, Xue Cong, Yuan Zhong, Huan Shao, etc. This was of great help to the introduction of the Han culture from the Central Plains to Jiaozhou. Many of these Jiaozhou talents later went to high positions in the regimes of the three countries. Jiaozhou, as the southern neighbor of Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, was contested by Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and other forces.
After the Battle of Chibi, the situation of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu gradually formed.
Jiaozhou has been under the governance of Wu and Shu, Han Xian Emperor Jian'an fifteen years, Wu Sun Quan appointed Bu Qi as Jiaozhou Assassin History, led troops to Panyu. In the twenty-second year of Jian'an, Buqi moved the state of Jiaozhou from Guangxin to Panyu.
Only a year later, Sun Quan took advantage of Liu Bei's western expedition to Yizhou and sent the general Buqi to assassinate the history of Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou became the sphere of influence of Soochow. Shi Xie took his son as a hostage in Soochow and contributed local treasures every year to maintain his power. Sun Quan crowned him as General Zuo.
Seven years later, Liu Bei fell ill and died in the White Emperor City, and Shixie induced Yizhou Hao's surname Yonghong to rebel and join Eastern Wu. After Zhuge Liang quelled the rebellion and then occupied Nanzhong, he sent Li Hui to lead Jiaozhou to assassinate Shi, in an attempt to get involved in Jiaozhou.
Soon after Shi Xie's death, Wu Guo took the counties south of Nanling to Hepu, Beihai City, Guangxi Province as the boundary, Guangzhou to the north, and Jiaozhou to the south. Guangzhou Zhipanyu, Jiaozhou Zhilong (in present-day Hanoi, Vietnam). It governed the Leizhou Peninsula and the Qinzhou region of present-day northern Vietnam and Liangguang.
Ling Lu Dai and Dai Liang were assassinated in Guangzhou and Jiaozhou respectively, and Shi Xie's son Shi Hui was Jiuzhen Taishou. Shihui refused to accept the rebellion, and Lü Dai led his troops to attack Jiaozhou and Jiuzhen, and then reunited Guangzhou and Jiaozhou.
After the fall of Shu Han, the following year (the first year of Emperor Xianxi of Wei Yuan), Jiaozhou Lü Xing and others rebelled, trying to get the support of Cao Wei, but they were quickly suppressed. After the Western Jin Dynasty succeeded Cao Wei, Tongguò Yizhou and Nanzhong sent Yang Ji and others to Jiaozhou to lead troops to Jiaozhou and defeat the Wu army. The Eastern Wu Metropolitan Governor Xue Jue and Cangwu Taishou Tao Sulphur led troops to defeat the Western Jin Dynasty and regain control of Jiaozhou.
Emperor Wu Jing Yong'an seven years), in order to facilitate governance, Dongwu also divided the four counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin and Gaoliang (now the two vast departments) from Jiaozhou, and set up Guangzhou, the state governs Panyu, and Guangzhou is named after it. During the Soochow period, in addition to the four counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou, the territory of present-day Guangdong Province also included Shixing County of Jingzhou and Hainan Island.
After the Three Kingdoms, Jiaozhou has been in turmoil, until the Ming Dynasty Chengzu, the monarch of the Chen Dynasty was usurped by his relatives Hu, the domestic chaos, the Ming Dynasty should overthrow the Hu regime at the request of the remnants of the Chen Dynasty, and the Ming army recovered Vietnam in the twelfth year of Yongle. Later, the Ming Dynasty ruled directly here, set up counties, placed Jiaozhi Chengxuan political envoys (provinces), and promoted Confucianism in Vietnam, and Jiaozhou returned to the hands of the Han Chinese.
Wang Tong was ordered to come to Annan, the town guard is in Jiaozhou, there have been a lot of wars over the years, there are victories and defeats, but the land of Jiaozhou has been controlled by his Sisi in his hands, even if Liu Sheng died in battle, Yunnan's Mu family did not dare to send troops, he relied on the 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and still held Jiaozhou to the death.
Li Li to hit a lot of ideas, but did not take any advantage, and finally had to fight the idea of peace talks, this idea is excellent, the current situation, the Ming Dynasty wants to recapture Annan, only a large number of soldiers and horses, silver, grain and grass, but he has heard that the imperial court can no longer withstand the toss, a year ago the emperor personally conquered Le'anzhou, cut the king of Zhao, The wounds left by the White Lotus rebellion in Shandong have not healed, the Dabao'en Temple is still under construction, the Mongols are not buckles, they want to stay in the Central Plains at any time, and regain the good country that belongs to them, it can be said that since the end of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty has been exhausted, and Annan is undoubtedly a burden attached to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor may not have this mind to take care of the trivial matters here, it is to understand this, he has let Li Li toss at will over the years, otherwise according to Li Li's tricks, how can he be his opponent.
It's just that the next thing was beyond his expectations, first Li Li obeyed Li Zhi, "It's safe and dangerous, and the people are in the land,...... During the three-year march, Le Ly received the support of the Vietnamese people, and Le Ly also took advantage of the situation to make three chapters of the law to the people, declaring: "The people have been suffering from the abuse of government for a long time, and all the prefectures and counties they go to, there is no crime in the autumn, and the cattle valley of the non-puppet officials (Ming Dynasty officials) is not allowed to be taken indiscriminately, although they are very hungry and poor." With strict military discipline, Li Lijun received a response from the masses everywhere he went, "and they worked together to encircle Yi'an City (now Xingyuan County, Yi'an River)". Although the city was still held by the Ming army, the area under its jurisdiction had been occupied by Li Li.
Since the main force of the Ming army was concentrated in the city of Nghe An, and the defense of other places was weak, Le Li shifted his attention and conquered Tan Binh, Hue and other places.
After a few years, Le Li was no longer the hairy boy of the Blue Mountains Township, but occupied the southern part of Annam, and then sent troops north to the Eastern Capital (now Hanoi) Take the initiative to attack, but a year's effort, Li Li's strength has greatly increased, in the important battle of the Battle of Koudong, Li Li's army defeated the Ming army, forcing the Ming Dynasty's military strength to be limited to a few besieged cities, which made him begin to panic, after learning that Li Li had the intention of peace talks, he ignored the opposition of his military generals, and resolutely negotiated peace with Li Li, Li Li initially agreed, so that he was very happy, he wanted to negotiate peace, but he guarded here for decades, if he lost Annan and returned to the country, those who ate dry rice will let him go, so he is a superficial peace talk, secretly asked the court for help, this news somehow leaked, after Li Li learned about it, and continued to send troops to attack the various garrison cities they were guarding.
He faced the battle on the one hand, and urged the imperial court to send troops to help, according to his wishes, Annan fought for decades, the people's hearts were lost, and Li Li's strength took the opportunity to grow, want to eliminate this strength, he alone is not enough, he is in his heart to the imperial court sent soldiers are British duke, he believes that as long as once the British duke is out of the horse, forced by his name, Li Li does not dare to mess around, he can take this opportunity to put the soldiers and horses in his hands in order, and then it is not impossible to recover the lost city.
But he did a lot of calculations, he didn't expect the court to send Liu Sheng to be the master of the future to conquer Li Li, he didn't have much opinion on Liu Sheng, but in the early years, he also knew a little about this person, and the war was so-so, but there was a bad problem, arrogance, he expected that Liu Sheng might not be Li Li's opponent.
Sure enough, as he expected, the imperial court learned that the war situation was unfavorable, so he sent Liu Sheng as the main general and led 100,000 troops south to suppress the chaos. In September and October of the second year of Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Sheng entered Vietnam and began to attack the army of Le Lê. When Li Li learned of this, he instructed his subordinates: "The journey of Liu Sheng's coming today is long, and the people will be tired, so I will wait for work at ease, and I will not be able to scorn it", and ordered the soldiers to retreat while fighting, slowly lead the enemy into the hinterland, and set up ambushes in appropriate places. At this time, Liu Sheng was still careless and underestimated the enemy, and only personally led a hundred cavalry to chase after the Li Li army. When they reached the muddy terrain of Zhiling (in Lang Son province), the Ming army had difficulty moving, and Le Li's ambush army took the opportunity to attack, so they killed Liu Sheng at Ma On Shan (the local name of the mountain, also known as Dao Ma Po).
Due to the death of the main general, the whole army was defeated and retreated, and Li Li sent an army to pursue it in a big way, so it won a great victory. This decisive battle made the Ming Dynasty occupy the place where Annan was located, leaving only Jiaozhou, which he defended, and this result was mixed. Worried about their own future, when they were ordered to come to Annan, the whole Annan is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the various rules and regulations set by Chengzu, the people here can still follow, although the rebellion continues, but it has not set off much storm, it can be said that as long as it is dealt with, Annan is still promising, now not to say that the rules and regulations set by Chengzu are all bad, it is the work of the Ming Dynasty for 20 years, and the good situation laid down by the Ming Dynasty is also lost under their own guard, only this Jiaozhou city is left, if the peace talks are successful, they return to the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that they will inevitably be impeached, and the future is worrying。
